Lowdown: Having been a three-year starter in a complex, pro-style offense, he might be the most NFL-ready quarterback prospect in the draft. … Excels at reading defenses and consistently makes good decisions with where to go with the ball. … Impressive athleticism allows him to make plays as a runner and while throwing on the run. … Strong arm, shows good accuracy on short and deep throws. … Biggest drawback is a long windup in his delivery that makes for a slow release, which figures to be a much larger problem against NFL defenders who are faster and do a far better job of anticipating throws. … Scouts love the toughness he displays with his willingness to hang in the pocket until the last possible moment and take a hit. … Demonstrates excellent leadership.
